Ah yes, Ant & Dec with their hilarious "blacked up" "Rich Arabs" "wind-up" "routine." Most fitting for the nation's favourite Chiswick-dwelling Tory-voting professional Geordies!
Sachs I think still relatively busy on the voiceover/audio books front.

Mark Heap, Tras Duprez
"Using make-up sticks we transformed our white reporter Tras Duprez, into a black man to see if the law would treat him any differently. Within five minutes, he'd committed a pocket theft and by mid-afternoon, he was attacking passers-by with violent muggings, and fleecing them viciously on the cobbles."

The Daily Mail has got all the info and photos of Andrew Sachs daughter in stockings and high heels you need - including a transcript of the phone calls and Andrew Sachs saying basically 'calm down everybody'.
Miss Baillie said last night: 'I've only just got back.'I was aware of what happened but I just need some time to get my head together now.'I don't want to say anything more until I've had a chance to speak to my agent.'

Telegraph, as Tom said above, also provides a link to the source - so much for "double standards."

Blimey - the comments on that telegraph article.This all seems to be getting out of hand now. Cameron wading in on the news just now, predictably. It seems obvious that a head is going to roll, probably the producer of the programme?

Thing is when you employ someone for his risky mouthy not scared to offend former sex and drug addict reputation it's a bit pointless slapping his wrist for living up to expectations.

So let me get this straight.
Gordon Brown pulls the Western world from the brink of economic collapse.
David Cameron has so little to do with his time that he is able to complain about a couple of disc jockeys on the radio.
As far as the next election is concerned it's what is commonly known as a "fucking no-brainer."
